Adopted by the Congress of the Republic of Texas in 1839, it served as the national flag for the republic until Texas gained statehood in 1845. This “lone-star” flag replaced one known as the Burnett flag, which Texas had adopted after it gained independence from Mexico in 1836, and it featured a gold or white star against a solid blue background. The Burnett flag continued to serve as a battle flag until 1879.
